In September 2022, a small group of us brought together by the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce will be setting off to conquer the highest peak in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for The Children's Hospital Charity in Sheffield.

This will be 7 long days and nights, trekking to the summit and back down again. The day we will climb to the summit involves 7 to 8 hours of midnight trekking to reach the summit at dawn followed straight away by another 6 to 7 hours descending to the next camp. This definitely won't be a walk in the park. And I don't think I'll look at happy as I do in the picture above when I actually get to the summit! 

All the money raised will be going towards helping The Children's Hospital Charity transform the Cancer and Leukaemia ward at Sheffield Children's Hospital. The ward treats children from babies through to 19-year-olds, in South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Derbyshire and even as far south as Northampton. The department is one of twenty principal treatment centres in the UK and also cares for patients who have other blood problems such as bleeding and inherited disorders.

Please donate if you can, every penny really does make a difference! Thanks so much for your support.
